IELTS Writing Practice. One of the major problems that face today’s governments is creating enough satisfactory houses for their increasing populations whilst still trying to protect the environment. Discuss this statement and give your opinion.

These days the population is growing at a fast pace, and

governments

need to resolve a critical problem which is building adequate housing that doesn't harm the environment. I completely agree with that statement as I firmly believe that

governments

do not have sufficient budget to build new houses and are incapable of dealing with the increasing

number

of natural

disasters

that affect our cities. Building appropriate places of residence that align with our environment is a significant challenge, and today's

governments

still haven't been able to tackle it.

This

is because their budget is limited, and their small amount is usually designated for other purposes. An excellent example of

this

is the city of Miami which cannot afford to build apartments for those citizens whose houses have been affected by Hurricane Katrina.

In addition

,

governments

cannot find a solution for many people who have lost their accommodation because of natural

disasters

such

as storms or floods.

This

is due to the significant increase in the

number

of

disasters

that happen each year. In Florida,

for instance

, more than ten hurricanes hit the city in 2022, which has shocked many scientists since the

number

used to be lower than two. There is no doubt that

this

poses a severe problem for

governments

. To conclude, today's

governments

face obstacles

such

as providing their citizens with adequate apartments while putting effort into saving the environment. They haven't been successful due to various reasons

such

as insufficient budget and the growing

number

of natural

disasters

.
